So there I was.... staring at the plain birch cabinet that hold all my munchkins movies. It was bland, boring and rather ugly in our home that is so full of vibrant colors and abstract images. I had an idea and wanted it to come to fruition.... problem is I am half done the cabinet and I hate it. Its bright and bold and very munckin approved. It would make awesome toy storage in a bedroom, but there is no space. And I WILL NOT have it sitting in my living room. It looks like a clown car exploded all over it. I am frustrated and a bit annoyed with myself. The idea I had was cool, fun and unexpected. I should have used spray paint. So now here I am getting ready to sand off many many hours or work and even more layers of paint.
I will be going to shop for spray paints this week. I have to get it right.... I am tempted to take pictures of it now, and then when its sanded and hopefully the final awesome end product. Problem is I am so terribly embarrassed at just how ugly it is right now. I dont want this version to be the one that people judge my work on. I am by no means a professional, or even a real artist. I do this because I love what I do, painting is my passion.
I guess if I am brave enough after its finished and I like it then I will post pictures of the good, the bad and the UGLY that it is right now. Until then I guess I will brood on it until I get it right. I have only ever had one other piece that I truly started over on so this is frustrating and it makes me question my abilities.
Over the past year my life and my art has changed in so many ways. Some are great and others have been a point of great pain and saddness. So this is my start of something new, a new chapter, a new vision and a new belief in myself. I welcome you to come with me on this journey.
